    Thanks Minigrrll,

    Since I am not eating meat this month, I have to think ahead what my next meal is going to be.

    I think for today's meal I will do Eggplant Parmesan over zoodles with a salad.

    Good gracious, Tracey, your meal! How did you get those so perfect and may I have the recipe? Your plate looked amazing to my daughter and her hubby, too!

    Congrats on your sweet loss and ridding most of your vacation weight so quickly!

    Recipe is pretty simple. I used 2 eggs and mixed in some buffalo wing sauce for wet ingredients for the dry I used grated parmesan cheese, about 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup oat fiber, and 1/4 cup flax meal. double battered the cauliflower in the egg and flour mixture and baked in a 450 degree oven. After they came out of the oven I tossed them in the buffalo wing sauce to coat.

    Those were good, but I later made some for my husband (he wanted them more crispy and not coated) where I made a wet batter mixing the flour (used seasoned regular all purpose flour) with the egg mixture, coated the cauliflower and fried in a mixture of avocado and coconut oils. They were much crispier. He dipped them in the buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese dressing instead of tossing and coating them with it; he loved them.

    For the buffalo sauce I got frank's buffalo wing sauce; heated in a sauce pot with some butter.

    Happy Saturday everyone! I just had to come and share. I was down another 2.4 pounds this morning. Those vacation pounds are going, going, and will soon be completely gone. I am so close to getting out of the 160's and I don't plan on messing things up this time. I could be in the 150's within the next 3 days :D:p:) .

    I joined the just give me 10 days thread with a goal for the 10 days of 165 pounds with a starting weight of 169.8 pounds. After the second day I was 164.2 pounds so I changed my goal to 160. Here it is the 5th day and I am at 162.0. It is possible I could be in the 150's before this 10 day challenge is up.

    I too am loving my vegetarian meals. I don't think I will end up going total vegetarian, but I think I will have 3 or 4 vegetarian days a week.

    So, I have been thinking about how I plan on making OMAD a true sustainable way of eating for life and I think I have figured it out. Incorporating vegetarian OMAD days and feast days. After my complete month of vegetarian meals, my forever way of eating will look like this:

    Let me know what you think.

    Yay! So awesome that you have managed to get rid of the vacation weight so quickly!!

    I made your buffalo cauliflower bites last night. They didn't look anything like yours though - I don't think I've ever battered anything in my entire life and wasn't really very good at it. I ended up with two bowls full of goop! I realized after I should probably have used a bag for the dry stuff and shaken the pieces around. Or something. Maybe look up a video next time. Anyway - they looked misshapen and ugly but they were delicious!! They were actually pretty crispy from the oven. Dipped them into straight Frank's.

    Minigrrll, the ones I did in the oven were shaken in a bag. The ones I fried were dipped in a wet batter.

    I could definitely eat that meal again and have some leftovers so I will be eating some of it again tonight if my husband doesn't eat it before I get home from work.

    Tracy, your meals look so nutritious and filling! I may have to start swapping my pastries and cookies out with meals like yours!

    Tracey.....GIRLLLLLLLLL... You are speaking to the Southerner in me!!! My family is from the south even though I grew up in Michigan, and my fiance is from Louisiana so I've been cooking Southern for years but I somehow can't get people on board with the black-eyed peas and collard greens! This makes me want all the southern food...ALL.OF.IT.
